5 Days Solo Camping & Fishing in Canadian Wilderness

  • After an epic failure on a solo camping brook trout fishing mission into an unknown canoe route, I had to come up with a plan B. After some quick thinking I realized I was only a couple hours away from a piece of paradise that I hold near and dear to my heart: Diablo Lake. I revisited the first part of the Steel River canoe route and once again had to conquer the notorious Diablo’s Portage. But it was totally worth it.
    I got a little taste of everything on this trip from wildlife encounters to heavy rain, beautiful sunsets, delicious camp meals and the exact type of fishing I was looking for.
    I’ve linked a “Buy Me a Coffee” below for anyone who would like to make a contribution that helps me cover the costs of making these videos:

    Your reaction when you startled the moose was priceless! So awesome to see them. Great video!

    Last year, the Diablo portage was a major milestone. This year you made it look like a casual hike! It is amazing watching how far you have come in just one year!

    Such a lovely bit of camping, Ben! Even though your initial trip was found to be impassable, the pivot to Diablo Lake was a great call. We wonder how the reverse portage was down the steep incline/decline of the Diablo port was...downhill hiking is no easier than uphill, just different muscles working super hard. Another beautiful video, friend

    Good job staying flexible and figuring out another trip! Sometimes it’s hard to make those call instead of trying to do the impossible or giving up entirely. Your perseverance and positivity are truly inspiring. When you brought that first trout up into the boat my 8 year old daughter said “nice brookie!” Thought you should know! 😂

    • @benbeauchamp16

    great effort dragging over all those log jams. I think the baby moose was only a few hours old, mum was probably resting. What a special encounter

      It’s not for everyone, but if you’re thinking about it I say try it out and see how you feel. Start small - you don’t need to go to a super remote place. It’s a totally different type of experience when you’re alone, true solitude is hard to come by these days and you’ve got a way better chance of coming across some amazing wildlife.
      If you decide to go out let me know how it goes! Thanks for watching :)

    They probably didn't see or hear you coming because they were drinking and the flowing water may have drowned you out. It's how I was able to get one of my only photos of a wild bobcat.

    Deleting comments that are not malicious, or hurtful in any way is a recipe for failure. The market you are attempting to further saturate is captained by those that aren't afraid to recognize their shortcomings and actually make strides to improve their approach. Get a net. Stop dangling fish. Pinch your barbs when you are practicing catch and release. Stop deleting comments that aren't full of hearts and praise.

      Hey man I’ve never deleted any comments whatsoever, matter of fact I posted this video and then took off on another big trip with no internet access. Not sure what you’re referring to. Every fish that I didn’t eat was released safely back into the wild
